Objective: The etiology of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) is known to be multifactorial, involving biological, psychosexual, and context-related factors. The objective of the present study was to analyze the factors associated with female HSDD and to stratify these factors according to their importance.
Methods: This was a population-based, hierarchical study conducted in Brazil, based on data from previous research on the Brazilian Sexual Life Study, conducted between November 2002 and February 2003 in various Brazilian cities. The primary study consisted of a self-administered and anonymous questionnaire, addressing sociodemographic parameters, general health, life habits, behavior, and complaints related to sexual function. The association between HSDD and various other factors was assessed. The data were evaluated by hierarchical multiple regression analysis.
Results: The prevalence of HSDD in this sample was 9.5%. Associations were found with cardiovascular disease, breast cancer, posttraumatic stress, poorer education level, being older, being married, a lack of information on sexuality in childhood/adolescence, and a limited sexual repertoire. Women who consumed moderate amounts of alcohol were found to be less likely to have HSDD.
Conclusions: Analysis of the associated factors classified in order of importance and analysis of the characteristics of the sexual relationships provide additional information to currently available data on the traditional concepts of HSDD.

Background Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) affects a significant portion of the female population, negatively impacting quality of life. New therapeutic approaches, such as the combination of laser therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), are being explored as potential treatments to enhance sexual function in affected women. Methods This original study involved 23 women aged 37 to 72, all diagnosed with varying degrees of FSD (mild, moderate, severe).

Introduction: Human sexuality is a multifaceted process, and sexual desire plays a central role in the triphasic model of the sexual response cycle, as proposed by Helen Singer Kaplan.
Methods: In this cross-sectional correlational study, we examined the relationship between various sociodemographic factors, such as age and motherhood, and sexual variables, including erotophobia, erotophilia, homophobia, and unconventional sex, with hypoactive sexual desire in women from Quito, Ecuador. The study sample comprised 421 women between the ages of 18 and 50, who were administered the Revised Sexual Opinion Survey and the Inhibited Sexual Desire Scale to assess their sexual attitudes and levels of desire.
Stress during early life influences brain development and can affect social, motor, and emotional processes. We describe a striking sex difference in the effects of early life stress (ELS), which produces anhedonia and anxiety-like behaviors in female adolescent mice, as reported previously, but repetitive behavioral pathology and social deficits in male adolescent mice. Notably, this parallels sex differences seen in the prevalence of psychiatric symptoms: depression and anxiety disorders are more common in girls and women, whereas neurodevelopmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder and Tourette syndrome are markedly more common in boys and men.

Priapism, a prevalent complication in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients, manifests as prolonged and painful erections unrelated to sexual arousal. The detailed mechanisms contributing to this condition, especially regarding sympathetic function in the corpus cavernosum that maintains penile flaccidity, remain to be elucidated. In this study, it was hypothesized that the pathways of the sympathetic nervous system would be down-regulated, thereby contributing to the development of ischemic priapism in sickle cell disease.
